was sprawled on top of him, still impaled on him, still quivering from the force of her orgasm. Her hair was all over him, her hand resting on his heart and her legs tangled with his.
    This, right here, was all he needed to be happy for the rest of his life. As long as he had her, he could get through anything that came his way. “I love you more than life itself, Laura Lawry.”
    “Love you just as much, Owen. I always will.”

    Sarah came awake slowly, uncertain at first where she was or why she was naked. And then the memories of the night before came flooding back to remind her that she was in Charlie’s bed, where they’d made love for the first time. And the second time… Which was why her body ached in a few places where it hadn’t ached in longer than she cared to remember.
    Her skin flushed and tingled with heat as she recalled the passion she’d experienced in Charlie’s arms. Sarah’s quiet, sweet fiancé had shown her a side of himself she hadn’t known existed until he got her in his bed.
    Thinking about the discoveries she’d made not only about him but also about herself had her blushing from head to toe, her eyes squeezed tightly closed in embarrassment. How would she ever face him in the bright light of day after the way she’d behaved?
    The brush of his lips over her forehead let her know she was no longer alone with her salacious thoughts.
    “Good morning.”
    “Mmm, morning.” She couldn’t bring herself to look at him, so she kept her eyes tightly closed.
    “I come bearing gifts.”
    “Is that coffee I smell?”
    “It is indeed, but you have to actually look at me before you can have it.”
    “I can’t look at you. I might never be able to look at you again.”
    His bark of laughter rang through the room.
    Sarah raised the covers up and over her head.
    “Now you’re just begging me to come in there to find you.” His hand sneaked under the covers, and naturally, the first thing he encountered was her bare breast.
    Sarah gasped from the painful pleasure when he rolled her sore nipple between his fingers, sparking a throb between her legs. How was it possible that she could want more already? “Charlie…”
    “Hmm?”
    “I can’t…”
    “Yes, you can.”
    “No, I really can’t.”
    “Have I ever told you how much I love a challenge?”
    Before she could begin to formulate a reply to that, he was under the covers with her, drawing her nipple into the heat of his mouth with gentle tugs and soft strokes of his tongue.
    Sarah wrapped her arms around his head, holding him to her chest even when she knew she ought to be pushing him away. Her body couldn’t take any more of his brand of passion. But even as she had the thought, her legs were wrapping around his narrow hips as he pressed his erection against her aching core.
    As the mother of seven, she’d certainly had her share of sex. But there was no comparison whatsoever to what she’d done with her ex-husband and what she was apparently about to do again with Charlie.
    “I won’t be able to walk for a week,” she said in a protest that sounded less than convincing even to her.
    “Yes, you will. I’ll go easy.”
    “You don’t know how to go easy.”
    “It’s you… You make me crazy.”
    “How do I make you crazy?”
    “The way you look at me and the things you say to me and the way you want to take care of me. And then you get naked with me, and I can’t help that I want to devour you.”
    Sarah finally opened her eyes and looked up at him in amazement. “Did you really ask me to marry you last night?”
    “I really did, and you said yes, so you can’t take it back now.”
    “I would never take it back.”
    As he rocked his pelvis against hers, he cradled her head in his big hands and kissed her softly. “Your lips are swollen.”
    “Gee, I wonder why?”
    His face lifted into a grin full of male satisfaction.
    “Don’t look so smug. You nearly broke me in half.”
    He laughed again at the grimace she
